Admission: SGD 30 (adults), SGD 18 (kids) Singapore Flyer The Singapore Flyer is one of the city’s most iconic attractions. It offers fantastic views of the city from Asia’s largest observation wheel. You can go on a standard flight but if you want something a little more memorable, then how about going on one that offers drinks like Singapore Slings or champagne? You can buy tickets to the Singapore Flyer at the gate or in advance through Klook. Cost: SGD 40 (adults), SGD 25 (kids) Singapore Botanic Gardens Gardens by the Bay is a fantastic place to appreciate Singapore’s greenery, but if you want to enjoy it in a more natural setting, then head on over to Singapore Botanic Gardens. It’s a 158-year-old tropical garden and the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Singapore. Entrance to the gardens is free but you’ll need to pay SGD 15 fee to enter the National Orchid Garden. It’s a must so don’t miss it. Admission: FREE Marina Bay Sands Skypark Marina Bay Sands is the most iconic hotel in Singapore. I’m sure you’ve seen pictures of its infinity pool on social media. If you aren’t checked in at Marina Bay Sands, then the next best thing would be to head up to the Skypark observation deck on the 57th level to get some of the most breathtaking views of Singapore.

B Lexie Alford, 21, said she recently became the youngest person to visit every country. Though her achievement is yet to be confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records, Alford said she had been to 196 countries. While her adventures may have looked attractive and exciting on her social media account, Alford faced various difficulties such as visa rejections, financial struggles, and health issues like malaria and food poisoning. For most people, the barrier to seeing the world is lack of money, but Alford managed to fund her travels largely on her own. She started working various jobs and saving everything she had earned since she was 12 years old. Additionally, her mother owns a travel agency and it has helped her find the best deals and book ahead of time, contributing to significant savings on flights and hotels. As a solo (独自的) female traveler, Alford made safety a top concern when deciding how long to stay in a country, in addition to budget and personal interest. She spent over a month in countries like Egypt and Switzerland, where there was so much she could do and there were ways to make those trips financially reasonable. Then there are some countries like Mali, South Sudan, and Somalia which she would have loved to spend more than a few days exploring, but unfortunately she didn’t have enough money to take the proper security precautions (预防措施) necessary to travel throughout those countries. Despite experiencing intense loneliness at times, Alford thinks that solo travel is a rewarding experience that everyone should have at least once in their lives. After her travels, Alford now believes that every problem has a solution if you work hard enough. There are also a lot of sacrifices you have to make if you want to travel the world, but if it’s something you’ re truly passionate about, it only takes courage to pursue it. 4. How did Alford prepare for her travel financially? A. Through her earnings and savings. B. Through the support from her parents. C. By securing free flights and hotel stays. D. By managing her mother’s travel agency. 5. What made Alford only spend a few days in countries like Mali? A. Lack of interest in their attractions. B. Limited funds for safety measures. C. Intense loneliness during solo travel. D. Difficulty in communicating with locals. 6. What does Alford consider crucial to world travel after her journeys? A. Rich experience. B. Safety awareness. C. Spirit of adventure. D. Sincere enthusiasm. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Security Tips for Solo Travelers B. Passion and Sacrifice on the Road C. Youngest Traveler Explores the World D. World Record for the Longest Hourney C “Who’s a good reader? It’s you, isn’t it?” This is a typical example of “parentese (父母语)”. Recent research suggests that parents speaking parentese to their babies can give the babies’ language development a serious boost. In the study, researchers found that teaching parents how to speak proper parentese enhanced their ability to communicate with their babies — and even improved the children’s long-term language skills. Parentese is distinct from conventional baby talk which mostly relies on silly sounds and made-up words. In the 1960s, scientists studying speech patterns across different languages noticed a unique style that adults used addressing young children. This language was characterized by simple words and grammar, high pitch (音调) and a much slower speed. The baby-directed speech was first named “motherese” before it was called “parentese”. Later research showed parentese is grammatically correct, with real words and phrases, which helped babies differentiate between words and process what was being said. “We’ve known for some time that use of parentese is associated with improved language outcomes, but we didn’t know why,” says Patricia K. Kuhl, the new research’s senior author. But Kuhl thinks the new research suggests why parentese helps babies learn language skills. “We now think parentese works because it’s a social attraction for the baby brain,” she says. “Its high pitch and slower speed are socially engaging and invite the baby to respond.” All 71 families in the new study had their children equipped with a special coat with an audio recorder built in. During four separate weekends when the babies were 6,10,14 and 18months old, the researchers recorded all of the interactions between family members and the babies. The 48 families who were randomly selected for a course in parentese learned about ways to include more parentese in conversation. And even though all of the participating families used some form of parentese at the start of the study, the babies of parents who received coaching showed the most improvements in their conversation skills. Beyond that, those babies had a 100-word vocabulary compared with the control group, who only knew 60 words at 18 months. 8. Which aspect of the new study does paragraph 1 focus on? A. Its aim. B. Its result. C. Its procedure. D. Its participants. 9. What did scientists find about parentese in the 1960s? A. It was easy to follow. B. It was unique to mothers. C. It was full of made-up words. D. It was similar to traditional baby talk. 10. What does Kuhl say about parentese? A. It inspires babies to speak more. B. It has short-term effects on babies. C. It teaches babies more social skills. D. It helps babies differentiate words and phrases. 11. What does the underlined word “coaching” in the last paragraph mean? A. Casual advice or guidance. B. Formal training or instruction. C. Observation without intervention. D. Emotional support without practical help. D Engineers in Upstate New York have invented a folded paper device that looks like a decorated art project. But don't be fooled. This is actually a paper-based battery. No, it doesn't look like any of those metal batteries running flashlights or smartphones. In these systems, the battery can be printed on a page. The battery 's power consists of living bacteria. Paper electronics are simple to make and inexpensive, notes study leader Seokheun Choi, an engineer at Binghamton University. They need no electrical outlet to recharge. They just need more bacteria, which can be found everywhere — including dirty water. “ Most batteries use chemicals to generate electricity. Substituting bacteria can be an advantage,” Choi says.“They are cheap and self-repairing.” What paper-based batteries won't do is generate much power. They do, however create enough to run small devices in faraway or dangerous places — such as a battlefield . They might also find use in medicine . For instance, they might power tiny sensors, such as the types used to measure blood sugar. This invention is based on an observation made more than a century ago — that microbes （微生 物） produce electricity as they digest food. Scientists refer to the bio-batteries based on this principle as microbial fuel cells. A fuel cell generates electricity like a regular battery. But a regular battery stops producing electricity when its inner chemical reactions stop. A fuel cell uses fuel that can be refilled. In this case, bacteria serve as the fuel. By refilling more microbes, as needed, scientists can keep these fuel cells running. Lab tests have shown that the new battery can produce a current. Now, Choi and his team are looking at ways to increase the power. They're studying different shapes and materials for the anode and cathode （正负 极）. They're also looking for the best ways to combine batteries for more power. The beauty of the paper devices is that you can simply fold them to connect them. And they surely will be a trend in the near future. 12. What makes the paper-based batteries different from other batteries? A. They are mainly used to run smartphones. B. They use bacteria to generate electricity. C. They are used to decorate small devices. D. They take a much shorter time to recharge. 13. What can the paper-based batteries do? A. Power tiny devices. B. Lower blood sugar levels. C Produce much electricity. D. Change chemicals in the paper. 14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The application of the new battery. B. The characteristics of the paper batteries. C. The intention to invent the device. D. The working principle of the invention. 15. What is the author's attitude towards the development of the paper-based batteries? A. Defensive. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Ambiguous. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your culture is a huge part of who you are and the way you see the world.

Flashes from cameras lit up in all directions. The applause filled my ears. I had done it. I had really done it. Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people. “Not for a million dollars,” I would have said. But when the time came I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears - and discovered I could do more than I ever gave myself credit (认可) for. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring, outgoing person who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear. If not for my teacher, Mrs. Sather, I might never have found that opportunity. In the first and second grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn’t in my personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people’s conversations. I did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In my stories, I was never shy. My teacher, Mrs. Sather, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was one of the first people to see my inner strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written. “I’ll begin to cast (为……选派角色) everyone tomorrow,” she said. “I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy. Does anybody want to try?” A few excited hands shot up - mine, of course, was not one of them - and Mrs. Sather smiled. “We’ll talk more about it tomorrow,” she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom. 注意： 1.续写词数应150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Sather asked me to go to her: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Hearing Mrs. Sather’s words, I realized it was time to make a change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 赫章县2024—2025学年度第一学期期末教学质量检测试卷 高二年级英语学科 考生注意： 1.满分120分。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本卷命题范围：必修第一册至选择性必修第二册Unit2。 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Gardens by the Bay Gardens by the Bay is the most popular attraction on TripAdvisor and it isn’t hard to understand why.

If you have time for just one attraction in Singapore, then this should be it.”（滨海湾花园是猫途鹰上最受欢迎的景点，原因不难理解。这个地方令人兴奋，和我们见过的任何地方都不一样。如果你有时间去新加坡的一个景点，那就去这里吧。）滨海花园是最受欢迎的一个景点，由此判断，如果只能选一个地方的话就可以去滨海公园。故选A。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。Singapore Flyer部分提到“The Singapore Flyer is one of the city’s most iconic attractions. It offers fantastic views of the city from Asia’s largest observation wheel.”（新加坡摩天观景轮是这座城市最具标志性的景点之一。从亚洲最大的观景轮上可以看到这座城市的美景。）以及Marina Bay Sands Skypark部分提到“If you aren’t checked in at Marina Bay Sands, then the next best thing would be to head up to the Skypark observation deck on the 57th level to get some of the most breathtaking views of Singapore.”（如果你没有在滨海湾金沙酒店登记入住，那么下一个最好的选择就是前往57层的天空公园观景台，欣赏新加坡最令人叹为观止的景色。）由此判断，这两个景点的共同点就是可以欣赏新加坡的城市美景。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。第二段提到“You can buy tickets at the gate but you can get a discount if you purchase them in advance through Klook or Get Your Guide.”（你可以在入口处买票，但如果你通过Klook或get Your Guide提前购买，你可以享受折扣。）以及“You can buy tickets to the Singapore Flyer at the gate or in advance through Klook.”（你可以在入口处购买新加坡摩天观景轮的票，也可以通过Klook提前购买。）倒数第二段提到“You can buy tickets at the gate but you may get a discount if you purchase them in advance through Klook.”（您可以在入口处购买门票，但如果通过Klook提前购买，可能会有折扣。）这些景点的门票都可以通过Klook提前购买，由此判断，Klook有可能是一个购票网站。故选A。 B Lexie Alford, 21, said she recently became the youngest person to visit every country. Though her achievement is yet to be confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records, Alford said she had been to 196 countries. While her adventures may have looked attractive and exciting on her social media account, Alford faced various difficulties such as visa rejections, financial struggles, and health issues like malaria and food poisoning. For most people, the barrier to seeing the world is lack of money, but Alford managed to fund her travels largely on her own. She started working various jobs and saving everything she had earned since she was 12 years old. Additionally, her mother owns a travel agency and it has helped her find the best deals and book ahead of time, contributing to significant savings on flights and hotels. As a solo (独自的) female traveler, Alford made safety a top concern when deciding how long to stay in a country, in addition to budget and personal interest.

Then there are some countries like Mali, South Sudan, and Somalia which she would have loved to spend more than a few days exploring, but unfortunately she didn’t have enough money to take the proper security precautions (预防措施) necessary to travel throughout those countries. Despite experiencing intense loneliness at times Alford thinks that solo travel is a rewarding experience that everyone should have at least once in their lives. After her travels, Alford now believes that every problem has a solution if you work hard enough. There are also a lot of sacrifices you have to make if you want to travel the world, but if it’s something you’ re truly passionate about, it only takes courage to pursue it. 4. How did Alford prepare for her travel financially? A. Through her earnings and savings. B. Through the support from her parents. C. By securing free flights and hotel stays. D. By managing her mother’s travel agency. 5. What made Alford only spend a few days in countries like Mali? A. Lack of interest in their attractions. B. Limited funds for safety measures. C. Intense loneliness during solo travel. D. Difficulty in communicating with locals. 6. What does Alford consider crucial to world travel after her journeys? A. Rich experience. B. Safety awareness. C.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了21岁的莱西·阿尔福德最近成为了走遍所有国家的最年轻的人的事迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For most people, the barrier to seeing the world is lack of money, but Alford managed to fund her travels largely on her own. She started working various jobs and saving everything she had earned since she was 12 years old. (对大多数人来说，缺少钱是环游世界的障碍，但阿尔福德却主要靠自己的钱来支付她的旅行费用。她开始做各种各样的工作，从12岁起就把所有挣来的钱都存起来。)”可知，阿尔福德是通过她的收入和储蓄为她的旅行做经济准备的。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Then there are some countries like Mali, South Sudan, and Somalia which she would have loved to spend more than a few days exploring, but unfortunately she didn’t have enough money to take the proper security precautions (预防措施) necessary to travel throughout those countries. (还有一些国家，比如马里、南苏丹和索马里，她本想多花几天时间去探索，但不幸的是，她没有足够的钱在这些国家旅行时采取必要的安全预防措施。)”可知，阿尔福德只在像马里这样的国家待几天是因为用于安全措施的资金有限。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There are also a lot of sacrifices you have to make if you want to travel the world, but if it’s something you’ re truly passionate about, it only takes courage to pursue it. (如果你想环游世界，你也必须做出很多牺牲，但如果这是你真正热爱的事情，你只需要勇气去追求它。)”可知，阿尔福德认为真正的热爱是实现环游世界的关键。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“Lexie Alford, 21, said she recently became the youngest person to visit every country. Though her achievement is yet to be confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records, Alford said she had been to 196 countries. (21岁的莱西·阿尔福德（Lexie Alford）说，她最近成为了走遍所有国家的最年轻的人。虽然她的成就还没有被吉尼斯世界纪录确认，但阿尔福德说她已经去过196个国家。)”可知，文章主要讲述了21岁的莱西·阿尔福德最近成为了走遍所有国家的最年轻的人的事迹。故这篇文章最好的标题是“最年轻的旅行者探索世界”。故选C项。 C “Who’s a good reader?

Beyond that, those babies had a 100-word vocabulary compared with the control group, who only knew 60 words at 18 months. 8. Which aspect of the new study does paragraph 1 focus on? A. Its aim. B. Its result. C. Its procedure. D. Its participants. 9. What did scientists find about parentese in the 1960s? A. It was easy to follow. B. It was unique to mothers. C. It was full of made-up words. D. It was similar to traditional baby talk. 10. What does Kuhl say about parentese? A. It inspires babies to speak more. B. It has short-term effects on babies. C. It teaches babies more social skills. D. It helps babies differentiate words and phrases. 11. What does the underlined word “coaching” in the last paragraph mean? A Casual advice or guidance. B. Formal training or instruction. C. Observation without intervention. D. Emotional support without practical help. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了最新的研究表明，父母对婴儿说的父母语有助于婴儿语言的发展。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Recent research suggests that parents speaking parentese to their babies can give the babies' language development a serious boost. In the study, researchers found that teaching parents how to speak proper parentese enhanced their ability to communicate with their babies — and even improved the children’s long-term language skills.(最近的研究表明，父母对孩子说父母话可以大大促进孩子的语言发展。在这项研究中，研究人员发现，教父母如何说正确的父母语可以提高他们与孩子沟通的能力，甚至可以提高孩子的长期语言技能)”可知，第一段主要关注的是研究的结果，即教父母如何说正确的“父母语”可以增强他们与婴儿沟通的能力，甚至提高孩子的长期语言技能。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the 1960s, scientists studying speech patterns across different languages noticed a unique style that adults used addressing young children. This language was characterized by simple words and grammar, high pitch (音调) and a much slower speed.(在20世纪60年代，研究不同语言的语言模式的科学家注意到，成年人对幼儿的称呼有一种独特的风格。这种语言的特点是单词和语法简单，音调高，语速慢得多)”可推知，20世纪60年代，父母对幼儿说的话的特点是单词和语法简单，说话速度慢，故可推知，20世纪60年代的父母语很容易听懂。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“‘We now think parentese works because it's a social attraction for the baby brain,’ she says. ‘Its high pitch and slower speed are socially engaging and invite the baby to respond.’(‘我们现在认为，父母语之所以有效，是因为它对婴儿的大脑是一种社会吸引力，’她说。‘它的高音调和较慢的速度具有社交吸引力，并邀请婴儿做出回应。’)”可知，Kuhl认为父母语是有用的，它邀请婴儿积极做出回应，因此可以鼓励婴儿说话。故选A。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“The 48 families who were randomly selected for a course in parentese learned about ways to include more parentese in conversation.(随机选择的48个家庭参加了父母语课程，学习了如何在谈话中更多地使用父母语)”可知，48个家庭被随机选中参加了一个关于“parentese”的课程，并学习了如何在对话中更多地使用这种语言方式，而那些接受了指导的父母的孩子在对话技能上表现出了最大的进步。因此，coaching在这里指的是提供关于特定技能或主题的正式培训或指导。故选B。 D Engineers in Upstate New York have invented a folded paper device that looks like a decorated art project. But don't be fooled. This is actually a paper-based battery. No, it doesn't look like any of those metal batteries running flashlights or smartphones. In these systems, the battery can be printed on a page. The battery 's power consists of living bacteria. Paper electronics are simple to make and inexpensive, notes study leader Seokheun Choi, an engineer at Binghamton University. They need no electrical outlet to recharge. They just need more bacteria, which can be found everywhere — including dirty water. “ Most batteries use chemicals to generate electricity. Substituting bacteria can be an advantage,” Choi says.“They are cheap and self-repairing.” What paper-based batteries won't do is generate much power. They do, however create enough to run small devices in faraway or dangerous places — such as a battlefield . They might also find use in medicine . For instance, they might power tiny sensors, such as the types used to measure blood sugar. This invention is based on an observation made more than a century ago — that microbes （微生 物） produce electricity as they digest food. Scientists refer to the bio-batteries based on this principle as microbial fuel cells. A fuel cell generates electricity like a regular battery. But a regular battery stops producing electricity when its inner chemical reactions stop. A fuel cell uses fuel that can be refilled. In this case, bacteria serve as the fuel. By refilling more microbes, as needed, scientists can keep these fuel cells running. Lab tests have shown that the new battery can produce a current. Now, Choi and his team are looking at ways to increase the power. They're studying different shapes and materials for the anode and cathode （正负 极）. They're also looking for the best ways to combine batteries for more power. The beauty of the paper devices is that you can simply fold them to connect them. And they surely will be a trend in the near future. 12. What makes the paper-based batteries different from other batteries? A. They are mainly used to run smartphones. B. They use bacteria to generate electricity. C. They are used to decorate small devices. D. They take a much shorter time to recharge. 13. What can the paper-based batteries do? A. Power tiny devices. B. Lower blood sugar levels. C. Produce much electricity. D. Change chemicals in the paper. 14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The application of the new battery. B. The characteristics of the paper batteries. C. The intention to invent the device. D. The working principle of the invention. 15. What is the author's attitude towards the development of the paper-based batteries? A. Defensive. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Ambiguous. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了纸基电池的原理，这种电池可以通过微生物进行充电，同时，该电池也可以运用在医学方面，如测试血糖等。研发团队则在寻找能使该电池储存更多电量的方法。该电池最大的优势是可以随时随地折叠起来带走。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。第二段最后两句提到“They need no electrical outlet to recharge. They just need more bacteria, which can be found everywhere — including dirty water.”这种电池是不需要外接发电设备进行充电的，只需要细菌就可以充电了，这是该电池与传统电池的不同之处。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。第三段第三句提到“What paper-based batteries won't do is generate much power. They do, however create enough to run small devices in faraway or dangerous places”纸基电池不会储存很多的电量，但这些电量还是能远程支持一些小型设备或运用在一些危险的地方，A项符合题意，故选A。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。第四段第一句提到“This invention is based on an observation made more than a century ago — that microbes（微生物）produce electricity as they digest food”，这项发明是基于百年前的一项观察，即微生物在消化食物的时候会产生电量。因此，科学家们“Scientists refer to the bio-batteries based on this principle as microbial fuel cells”根据这一原理将生物电池成为微生物燃料电池。由此可知，第四段介绍了生物电池的工作原理，D项符合文意。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段最后一句提到“The beauty of the paper devices is that you can simply fold them to connect them”该电池的优点是，人们可以简单地通过折叠来连接它们。作者用到beauty“优点”一词来说明该设备，说明作者对于该设备持一种积极的态度。A. Defensive.保守的，B. Optimistic.乐观的，C. Doubtful.怀疑的，D. Ambiguous.不明确的。B项符合文意，故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your culture is a huge part of who you are and the way you see the world.

But what happens if you move to another country or when younger generations lose contact with older generations? (当你生活在一个以你的文化为主要文化的地方，你可能不需要花太多精力去保护它——它就在你身边！但是，如果你搬到另一个国家，或者年轻一代与老一辈失去联系，会发生什么呢？)”可知，这里提出了一个问题，即如何在文化环境变化时保持自己的文化。设空处需要一个能够引出下文具体保护措施的句子。E选项“You can use the following tips to keep your culture alive.(你可以用以下方法来保持你的文化的活力)”回答了这个问题，提出了下文将要展开的具体方法，起到了承上启下的作用。故选E。 【17题详解】 本段主题句“Follow and share cultural content on social media.(在社交媒体上关注和分享文化内容)”指出在社交媒体上关注和分享文化内容。G选项“有不同的社交媒体账户庆祝你的文化”与主题句相呼应，说明了在社交媒体上有专门庆祝各种文化的账户，这与下文的“Following those accounts(关注这些账户)”形成了逻辑上的连贯。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Teachers are often looking for ways to teach their students about different cultures.(老师们经常寻找方法来教学生了解不同的文化)”可知，此处强调老师们经常寻找方法来教学生了解不同的文化。D选项“Just call some schools and ask.(只需给一些学校打电话询问)”提供了一个具体的行动建议，即如果老师们想了解某种文化，可以直接与学校联系询问。故选D。 【19题详解】 本段的主题句缺失，根据下文“Your skills as a translator are really valuable — especially if you speak an uncommon or endangered language. (作为一名翻译，你的技能真的很有价值——尤其是如果你说的是一门不常见或濒危的语言)”可知，本段主要讲述的是翻译技能在保持文化活力方面的作用。A选项“Volunteer as a translator.(自愿成为一名翻译)”能够概括本段主旨，直接点明了本段的主题，即利用翻译技能来保持文化的活力。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据前文“If your school has one for your culture, join it(如果你的学校有与你文化相关的俱乐部，就加入它)”可知，如果学校有与你文化相关的俱乐部，就加入它。C选项“If not, try to get one started.(如果没有，试着自己创建一个)”与上文形成了条件关系，即如果学校没有相关的俱乐部，就可以尝试自己创建。这与上文的“join it”形成了对比和补充，使得上下文更加连贯。故选C。 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My parents left for our hometown on Thursday and we went to see them off.

On the one hand, scanning translation pens can greatly enhance learning. They allow students to quickly translate unfamiliar words and phrases, helping them understand the material better and improving their language skills. This technology also promotes independent learning, as students can explore new vocabulary at their own pace. On the other hand, over-reliance on these devices may hinder students’ abilities to learn languages effectively. They risk becoming dependent on technology rather than developing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. To balance the pros and cons, schools should encourage students to use scanning pens as a supplementary tool, while also emphasizing the importance of traditional language learning methods. This approach will help students gain a deeper understanding of the language. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生就越来越多的中学生在教室使用扫描翻译笔一事写篇文章向校英文报投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 使用：use → employ 强调：emphasize → stress 重要性：importance → significance 方法：approach → method 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：They allow students to quickly translate unfamiliar words and phrases, helping them understand the material better and improving their language skills. 拓展句：They allow students to quickly translate unfamiliar words and phrases, which will help them understand the material better and improving their language skills. 【点睛】【高分句型1】This technology also promotes independent learning, as students can explore new vocabulary at their own pace.（运用了as引导状语从句） 【高分句型2】On the one hand, scanning translation pens can greatly enhance learning.（运用了动名词短语作主语） 第二节(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 I looked out at the smiling faces packed into the school hall. Flashes from cameras lit up in all directions. The applause filled my ears. I had done it. I had really done it. Just a few months earlier, I would never have pictured myself acting in a play in front of two hundred people. “Not for a million dollars,” I would have said. But when the time came I got up on stage and faced one of my greatest fears - and discovered I could do more than I ever gave myself credit (认可) for. I found a new person inside me, a much more daring, outgoing person who had been hidden all along, just waiting for the opportunity to appear. If not for my teacher, Mrs. Sather, I might never have found that opportunity. In the first and second grade, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn’t in my personality to be very outgoing, even when I knew someone well. I was afraid I would do or say something wrong, so usually I just smiled and listened to other people’s conversations. I did well in school and I loved to write. However, I would escape into my writing, where I could be myself and never had to worry about what other people thought of me. In my stories, I was never shy. My teacher, Mrs. Sather, always encouraged me to write more. She told our class to go after our dreams and dig in with both hands. I think she was one of the first people to see my inner strength. One day, she announced that our class was going to perform a play she had written. “I’ll begin to cast (为……选派角色) everyone tomorrow,” she said. “I need someone who is not afraid to be on stage in front of a lot of people to play the lead part of Dorothy. Does anybody want to try?” A few excited hands shot up - mine, of course, was not one of them - and Mrs. Sather smiled. “We’ll talk more about it tomorrow,” she said. Then the bell rang and my classmates slowly left the classroom. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Sather asked me to go to her: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Hearing Mrs. Sather’s words, I realized it was time to make a change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】续写例文： When I was loading up my backpack, Mrs. Sather asked me to go to her. With doubt, I came up to her. Giving me a meaningful look, she asked gently, “Why didn’t you raise your hand?” Hanging my head and staring at the ground, I did not know how to respond. Mrs. Sather continued, “I know your inner strength clearly by reading the stories you wrote about. I would love you to give this a try.” I was so shocked that I raised my head, eyes wide open. She smiled heartily. “Just make yourself fully prepared.” Hearing Mrs. Sather’s words, I realized it was time to make a change. After getting home, I read the play carefully several times, and the figure of Dorothy gradually appeared in my mind.
